Follow on Google News | Comprehensive Benefit Administrators' Michael McKenna speaks at Quincy RotaryMcKenna addresses measures to reduce healthcare costs at employer level.
By: Comprehensive Benefit Administrators McKenna, who has authored numerous articles and opinion pieces on the topic, touched on a number of cost-trimming avenues, including introduction of comparative prescription drug plans to allow employees and dependents access to prescription drugs through the employer plan, prescription manufacturer, private or government sponsored assistance programs. He also proposed that employers embrace a mandated second opinion program separate from insurance, as studies have shown an absolute return on investment for consumers seeking independent second opinions for serious ailments. Telemedicine is another tactic that could be utilized to lower costs, said McKenna, noting that according to the American Medical Association, an estimated 70% of emergency room, urgent care and primary care visits are unnecessary and can be handled via telemedicine.
